The Netherlands’ capital city is known not only for its extensive network of canals (which are a UNESCO World Heritage site) and art and cultural museums and sites, but it is regarded also as the commercial center of the country and one of the top financial hubs in Europe. No matter the time of year, the city comes alive with festivities and nightlife as well as buzzing ports and waterways.

The capital of Taiwan, Taipei is home to nearly 2.5 million people and forms the core of the Taipei–Keelung metropolitan area.
